I’m a history buff, but there’s an awful lot of history out there, and absolutely no one knows all of it. Not only are the historians constantly learning new stuff, but there are a lot of things people just don’t bring up that often, so regular schmucks like me don’t pick up on it unless we are actually searching something out. So, I appreciate Ammoland’s Dean Weingarten teaching me a little something about FDR’s time.My school textbooks were all about the Great Depression and World War II when talking about that particular Roosevelt. It didn’t…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Trump’s Newfound ‘Peace’ is a Desperate, Empty Ploy I believe we are witnessing the final, gasping act of a failed presidency. Just this week, after weeks of a brutal, unnecessary war launched jointly with Israel against Iran, Donald Trump has suddenly begun speaking of ‘very good and productive conversations’ for a ‘complete and total resolution’ of hostilities [1]. To anyone paying attention, this is not diplomacy; it is a panicked, face-saving maneuver by a leader who has catastrophically miscalculated. The media’s eager framing of potential talks is a narrative designed…

Just when you thought the water bottle craze had died down, here comes something completely different. First, YETI made every tumbler heavier than a tire iron. Then, VSCO girls and their Hydro Flasks turned bottles into fashion accessories. And most recently, everyone went bananas for Stanley’s Quencher because it had a straw in it. But right when things started to mellow out, an email pops into my inbox with the subject, “Introducing the Ferrari of water bottles!” OKAPA, a California-based startup, justifies the claim with a combination of precision engineering and superior materials — of course, the $300 price tag is…

After the Bondi Beach terror attack last December, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was quick to announce plans for a national gun “buyback”, along with new restrictions on the types of arms that would be available for sale and prohibiting non-native Australians from owning firearms.  Rather than a federal compensated confiscation scheme, Albanese and the federal government wanted states to take the lead. The feds would provide half of the funds, but it would be up to state government and law enforcement to come up with the rest of the money, as well as actually…

Raide Research has only been around for a few years, and its products are making waves. The brand keeps hitting home runs — from its TourTech Bibs, to its ice-axe compatible LF 2L waist pack, and, of course, its cult classic LF 30 and 40L backpacks. It hasn’t missed the mark yet. That’s why GearJunkie got so excited to see that this month, Raide launched a completely new pack, built for the biggest and gnarliest backcountry and alpine missions. The EX 55L ($549) is the brand’s first expedition pack. Like its other equipment, it’s bombproof, made with the highest-quality materials…

To hear the urban elite tell it, the problem in our country is that there are just too many guns. We need to curtail that, to discourage people from exercising their right to keep and bear arms, and make it so that only certain, approved parties have firearms lawfully. It’s funny how they keep saying it despite the fact that we’ve got more gun ownership than ever before, more people carrying guns than ever before, and violent crime is down over the last few years. Weird.Yet it is an unfortunate fact that horrible things do…
